A man was found dead inside a Planet Fitness tanning bed three days after he went missing.
Derek Sink, 39, was discovered inside the machine at the Planet Fitness on Hardegan Street in Indianapolis, Indiana on Monday around 9am.
His family told police that they last heard from him on Friday before reporting him missing on Sunday.
They told WTHR that a needle was found inside the tanning room with Sink, who has struggled with drugs in the past.
Sink's aunt said that investigators were able to track him to the gym through his ankle monitor. It is unclear why he had the device on him.
A sign was placed on the front door as of Monday that says 'tanning is currently unavailable.'
A gym member, Elizabeth Len, recalled being greeted by a foul smell when she entered the building for her morning workout Monday.
'And I was kind of like sniffing, trying not to look crazy, but I was like, "Something smells really awful here",' Len told WTHR, adding that the smell grew stronger as she neared the tanning rooms.
Len expressed concern as Sink's body was found on Monday, despite the gym being open from 7am to 7pm over the weekend.

Where else would a body go? Zombies need to be fit
So much for the idea that they regularly clean those tanning beds.
They might try "Dead Bodies Not Allowed". Otherwise, how would people know?
What’s that smell?
Yes..............

And has a healthy tan

This isn’t really news. We all know tanning beds are bad for you.
It tell how often the tanning beds get cleaned at Planet Fitness.
😁🙄.............................
So I guess Planet Fitness doesn't wipe down the equipment on a regular schedule?
I have tanned at a Planet Fitness. He must have come in late Friday, close to closing time. Somebody missed the light at desk area showing the booth was occupied or forgot to turn it on when they told him the room #. Employee didn’t check all the booths before leaving. Gets worse on Saturday and Sunday, they are open for 12 hours! How could no customers get sent to that bed for two days? Doesn’t sound possible, this story is incomplete.
